Indoor Vertical Gardens

Vertical gardens offer a creative, new way to display your house plants. You have more choices than ever to create
an indoor vertical garden. Put a few together and you've got an eye-catching garden for your wall.

When choosing plants for your wall garden, it's a good idea to use easy-to-grow tropicals.

Keep it simple. Crowding too many plants in one arrangement doesn't allow any of them to stand out.
Plus, you want to give them room to grow. Variegated leaves add some interest and contrast. Be sure to
add in a trailing plant such as pothos or heartleaf philodendron.

Woolly Pocket offers the easiest system I've seen for achieving lush vertical gardens indoors. You get the hardware
and instructions along with your pocket. Hang them side by side or stack vertically for a seamless living wall garden.

This modular wall planter group is about the easiest you'll find anywhere.

And the most versatile. Each planter is magnetic so you can design your own grouping. Or, remove the individual
planters and display them separately. Hang one on the refrigerator, if you like. These wall planters are sure to get attention.

Care of Indoor Vertical Gardens

Give your plants light. Most tropicals require a few hours of indirect sunlight every day. Put your
garden on a wall near a window. Artificial lighting will also give plants the light they need to grow.

Water regularly. Give plants a good drink then allow the potting mix to dry out a bit before
watering again. The Woolly Pockets above are breathable, allowing the potting mix to dry out. Avoid overwatering...you
don't want water overflowing on your floor.

Pinch and prune. Keep plants within bounds by pinching off growing tips. Also cut off any brown leaves
as soon as you notice them. Dead or dying leaves are more conspicuous when they're at eye-level.
